Filmmaker Jennifer Nelson was sued ( 起诉) for $1,500 for having a song sung in the movie
she’s making. The money went to Warner Music Group, a company that claims to own the copyright
on the song. A copyright is the legal right to use or sell a creative product such as a song, a TV show,
a book, or a work of art. Warner has claimed the copyright for “Happy Birthday to You” since 1988.
“I never thought the song was owned by anyone,” Nelson said in an e-mail to The New York
Times. “I thought it belonged to everyone.”
Nelson’s movie is a documentary—a film that uses pictures and/or interviews with people to
create a factual report of real-life events—and is actually about the history of the “Happy Birthday”
song itself.
Two sisters named Mildred and Patty Hill wrote a song called “Good Morning to All” in 1893.
Over a short period of time, people began to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in place of the
original lyrics to the tune of the Hill sisters’ song.
A number of history experts say that there is no record of who actually wrote the “Happy
Birthday to You” lyrics. Historians also say there is no way to know when the general public began
singing the “Happy Birthday” song, but they believe it had been sung by the public long before it was
printed and owned by a company.
Nelson’s lawyers say this piece of music’s history proves that “Happy Birthday to You” belongs
to everyone in the general public. That would mean Warner Music Group has no right to charge
anyone a fee to sing the song in any setting.
Experts estimate that Warner/Chappell, the publishing division of the Warner Music Group, has
made about $2 million a year from licensing fees for “Happy Birthday to You.”
Nelson’s lawyers are asking a court in New York City to order Warner/Chappell to return fees
they have collected over the past four years for use of the “Happy Birthday” song.
24. Why did Warner Music Group sue Jennifer Nelson?
A. Because she sold “Happy Birthday to You” for money.
B. Because she secretly used “Happy Birthday to You” song in her film.
C. Because she didn’t own the copyright on “Happy Birthday to You” song.
D. Because she used the “Happy Birthday to You” song without permission.
25. How was the “Happy Birthday” song produced? A. Someone replaced “happy birthday to you” in the song.
B. It was written by Mildred as a gift for her sister’s birthday in 1893.
C. It was created by someone who used the tune of “Good Morning to All”.
D. People were asked to sing the words “happy birthday to you” in the movie.
26. The history experts’ statement can prove that the “Happy Birthday” song __________.
A. has always been very popular
B. was definitely released by the public
C. does not belong to Warner Music Group
D. has more than 32 years’ history since 1988
27. If the court supports the claim from Nelson’s lawyers, __________.
A. Warner will return about $8 million
B. she can obtain the copyright on the song
C. Warner will have to pay her for her damage
D. she can sell the song for about $2 million a year
C
We already know that exercise is good for our bodies. Daily exercise fights the loss of muscle
tone and flexibility that tends to increase slowly with age. And it turns out that it has the same
fountain-of-youth effects on our brains.
Studies show that over time our minds also become less nimble. We lose the ability to process
new information or switch between mental tasks quickly—and now we know why.
A recent study examined nearly 100 individual studies on exercise and brain function and
discovered exercising an average of 52 hours over six months is “associated with improved cognitive
(认知的) performance in older adults with and without cognitive damage.” The type of exercises that
are beneficial include aerobic, strength-training and mind-body exercises like yoga or tai chi.
In previous studies, researchers from Japan’s University of Tsukuba wanted to explore this idea
by looking at the effect of exercise on the weakening of the brain. They tested the oxygen ability of
60 Japanese men between the ages of 64 and 75 who did not show any signs of dementia (痴呆) or other mental symptoms. Next, they looked at the brain activity of each man as he completed a mental
task. They found that the fitter a participant was, the less brain power he used to complete the tasks
when compared with his out-of-shape peers, which made him more efficient.
Although much research is focused on how exercise may benefit an aging brain, exercise offers
brain health benefits at almost any age, and this includes children. A review of 14 studies showed that
more physically active schoolchildren do better academically. Exercise actually causes your brain to
grow in size. So get moving and keep moving for best results.
28. The underlined word “nimble” in Paragraph 2 most probably means __________.
A. dull-witted B. single-minded C. absent-minded D. quick-witted
29. What can we infer about the participants’ less-active peers? A. They had significant brain
advantages.
B. Their brains were younger than their age.
C. Their cognitive performance would decline.
D. They had a quick mind when doing the task.
30. How does the author support his idea? A. By making comparisons.
B. By analyzing study results.
C. By describing the processes.
D. By telling peers’ experiences.
31. What’s the main idea of the text?
A. Exercise is beneficial for your bodies.
B. Exercise can benefit your brain health.
C. Exercise is especially good for dementia.
D. Exercise may lower your risk of mental problems.
D
The search for beauty spans centuries and continents. Paintings of Egyptians dating back over 4,000 years show both men and women painting their nails and wearing makeup. In 18th-century
France, wealthy noblemen wore large wigs (假发) of long, white hair to make themselves attractive.
Today, people continue to devote a lot of time and money to their appearance.
There is at least one good reason for the desire to be attractive: beauty is power. Studies suggest
that good-looking people make more money, get called on more often in class, and are regarded as
friendlier.
But what exactly is beauty? It’s difficult to describe it clearly, and yet we know it when we see
it. And our awareness of it may start at a very early age. In one set of studies, six-month-old babies
were shown a series of photographs. The faces on the pictures had been rated for attractiveness by a
group of college students. In the studies, the babies spent more time looking at the attractive faces
than the unattractive ones.
The idea that even babies can judge appearance makes perfect sense to many researchers. In
studies by psychologists, men consistently showed a preference for women with larger eyes, fuller
lips, and a smaller nose and chin while women prefer men with large shoulders and a narrow waist.
According to scientists, the mind unconsciously tells men and women that these traits—the full lips,
clear skin, strong shoulders—equal health and genetic well-being.
Not everyone thinks the same way. What is considered attractive in one culture might not be in
another. Look at most Western fashion magazines: the women on the pages are thin, but is this
“perfect” body type for women worldwide? Scientists’ answer is no; what is considered beautiful is
subjective and varies around the world. They found native peoples in southeast Peru preferred shapes
regarded overweight in Western cultures.
For better or worse, beauty plays a role in our lives. But it is extremely difficult to describe
exactly what makes one person attractive to another. Although there do seem to be certain physical
traits considered universally appealing, it is also true that beauty does not always keep to a single,
uniform standard. Beauty really is, as the saying goes, in the eye of the beholder (观看者).
32. People’s ideas about beauty __________.
A. can be easily described
B. are based upon strict criteria
C. have existed since ancient times D. have little influence on a person’s success
33. In Paragraph 3, the babies in the study __________.
A. were rated for their appearance
B. showed a preference for women with larger eyes
C. were shown photos of a group of college students D. were able to tell attractive faces from
unattractive ones
34. We can learn from the passage that __________.
A. the ideas of beauty vary as people grow up
B. the standards for beauty are based on scientific researches
C. the search for beauty is the power to motivate the beholder D. the understanding of beauty is
rooted in cultural backgrounds
35. What can probably be the best title for this passage?
A. The History of Beauty
B. The Mystery of Beauty
C. The Standards for Beauty
D. The Attitudes toward Beauty

Tips for Upcoming Senior Two
The upperclassmen often describe Senior Two in No.7 High as a year with “much more
homework, more frequent exams and more fierce competitions”. 36 ● Manage your time
carefully and make the most of it.
Try to study not only hard but efficiently. Make a to-do-list for your time after school. Don’t just
spend quite a long time on only one subject, especially a science subject. 37 Remember to
take breaks when you feel exhausted.
● Treat competition in class in a right way. Competition cannot be avoided, but everyone wants to study and live in a friendly environment.
Don’t treat your classmates as potential enemies. 38 By helping others solve problems, you
inspire others, consolidate your own knowledge and gain lasting friendship.
● 39
Don’t let your former rankings limit you. What really matters is how you treat exams and
rankings. Forget the class or grade rankings, but compete with yourself. In a while, you will see
yourself climbing in scores and rankings.
All in all, the coming new school year is sure to be full of challenges. Too much worry only adds
to your difficulties in your development. 40 Wish you the best of luck in the new academic
year in No.7 High!
A. Treat yourself as the rival.
B. Have a right attitude towards your rankings.
C. However, rearrange your time table is of great importance.
D. Instead, divide the hours into small periods for different subjects.
E. So when they turn to you for help, just share your wisdom generously.

I played a badminton game against my cousin Charlie last week. It was one of the most 41

Rome wasn’t built in a day. Nearly two decades have passed since China launched the first
Beidou satellite in 2000. Since then, more Beidou satellites have been sent into orbit, 61
(form) the Beidou Navigation Satellite System (BDS).
In late 2012, BDS 62 (begin) providing services to people in China and other parts of the
Asia-Pacific region. At the end of 2018, it started to provide global services. Now with two more
Beidou satellites 63 (launch) on Dec 16, 2019, BDS has 53 satellites in orbit. It 64
(expect) to greatly improve the system’s ability to serve 65 (user) worldwide.
Although a satellite-based navigation system needs only 24 satellites to run 66 (proper),
having 53 allows for better coverage.
This is 67 it works: a signal receiver on Earth measures its distance from at least three
satellites by recording the amount of time it takes 68 (receive) their signals. Then it can
calculate its location. With so many satellites, BDS can provide 69 more accurate calculation.
While GPS provides meter-level positioning accuracy, BDS reduces the error 70 centimeters.
This service is especially useful for land surveying, mapping, agriculture and automated driving.
Future plans call for a smarter and more accessible system with Beidou at its core, to come
online by 2035. By then, we can probably say that Rome has finally been built.

Last year I was the exchange student in the UK, and attended one of the Chinese culture course
there. When I walked into the classroom, I was welcomed by curiously faces. They gave me presents,
which moved and excited me. The lesson was about an ancient Chinese calligraphy naming xiao zhuan.
The teacher explained it origin, how it worked in society, why it was promoted nationwide. After class,
I felt proud of our Chinese culture but ashamed of that I knew almost nothing about them. As a senior
high school student, I am going to read so many books as I can to open my mind. I hope every Chinese
would understand the importance of learning about our own culture.

Dear Peter,
Nice to hear from you! I am more than happy to share with you my plan for the summer
vacation.
Here are the details. As is known, reading is the best way to broaden one’s horizons, so I
will definitely immerse myself in the sea of books for information, for knowledge and for fun.
Meanwhile, never will I neglect the importance of physical exercise, as a healthy body and
mind helps me achieve my goal. In addition, I will take an active part in social practice, thus
cultivating a sense of social responsibility.
What do you think of my plan? Looking forward to your reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
